| PLAY AREA SAFETY SURFACING |
| 1. Every two minutes of each day a child is injured in a play area - 70% of the injuries result from falls to the surface |
| 2. Liability lawsuits may be very costly if an accident
occurs at a child activity facility which does not have safety
surfacing that meets State and/or Federal safety standards. Compare the cost of liability vs the cost of the safety surfacing |
| 3. Most states require that all child activity facilities
meet ASTM, CPSC, ADAAG provisions for proper
and adequate safety surfacing |
| 4. Indoor facilities now also require safety surfacing - not just
outdoor facilities |
